PHP 5.2.1 on Apache/Linux. Client is Firefox and IE7 on Windows XP.
Uploading C:\boot.ini works great from an HTML type="file" form element but fails using what should be the equivalent:
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,array('peru'=>'@C:/boot.ini'));
CURL error is "failed creating formpost data". Same CURL works when the test file resides on the PHP server:
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,array('peru'=>'@/home/user/boot.ini'));
so problem seems to be in the '@C:/boot.ini' filespec. Substituting '@C:\boot.ini' or '@C:\\boot.ini' doesn't help.
What am I doing wrong?
